What If Awareness is Actually Keeping You Stuck?

Reinvent

Awareness is awesome. Until it isn’t enough. You can rattle off your resistance and describe every inch of how you hold yourself back. You can paint a picture of your patterns and how they keep you stuck. Yet, for how well you see your shadow, you don’t know how to move beyond it to create what feels impossible. You’re stuck IN IT. And all you want is to be free of it. That’s because awareness doesn’t cut it. You have to USE IT. When you’re aware of how you’re blocked, you’re not actually blocked—you’re choosing to be. Where it looks like you have a problem, what if there’s simply a...

How to Make Progress When You Want to Give Up

Kayla MacArthur

I’m currently stuffed into a sunken arm chair facing shelves and shelves of books. They’re faded and worn, some crumpled and torn at the edges. If I’m lucky, a soft, cool breeze floats in through the window to my left. It carries with it conversation and a tinkle of silverware from the tables below. If I listen hard enough, I can hear the Sawmill River rushing over its rocky bed. For quite some time now, I’ve wanted to visit the Book Mill. It’s quaint allure has called me closer and as I sit here, finally here, I can feel the magic and the charm I hoped it would have. In...

The Art of Getting Unstuck: Coming Home to Who You Want to Be

I carefully lowered myself into a small, shallow pool. It was worn in the smooth rock that spread over the Earth like butter. The water was warm and soft on my skin. Carefully lying back, I found the perfect nook to rest my head in. I took a deep breath and let my hands float to the surface of the water. Before me, sweeping blue mountains rose into rounded peaks. A river rushed forward, bubbling it’s way around boulders and rocks that dotted the bank. The air was pure and fresh with a hint of pine floating off the forest that flanked each side of the river. I sunk deep...

What Tulum Taught Me About Manifesting More Success

Kayla MacArthur

It took me THREE DAYS to completely turn off. In one of the most beautiful paradises I’ve ever been to, it took me three whole days to leave the computer locked in the tent and to pack the personal development books back in my suitcase. Three whole days—lost to the illusion that one can be “on” while simultaneously turning “off.” Tulum, with all of its beauty and magic, taught me how to relax again. And I’m not talking about the kind where you kid yourself by having one foot in and one foot out—I’m talking FULL ON RELAXATION. The kind where you melt into one of the canvas beds propped...

What is Your Anchor?

Reinvent
Kayla MacArthur

Pursuing and living your calling is one of the highest forms of WAKING UP. When you’re anchored in the world by your calling, you feel a sense of fulfillment that is no match to what any relationship, any drug, or any amount of money from a soul-sucking job could provide. I know this because I’ve experienced it myself. There was a time in my life when I was anchored in the world not by my calling, but by the men I dated. They WERE MY WORLD and I let my life revolve around them. I let them be my purpose—to the point where I became obsessed. So obsessed that I...

The Art of Receptivity: How to Do Less While Inviting in More Success

“Life is a dance between making it happen & letting it happen.” – Arianna Huffington The sun is bright. The sky is pale blue and cloudless. I’m tapping away at my laptop keys outside of a local Starbucks, completely grounded and filled to the brim with an appreciative awe. If I look around at my life, everything I’ve been dreaming of is taking physical form. I’ve risen it from the ground, like Queen Elsa and her magnificent castle of ice. I feel the power in my finger tips. And I’m leaning into this power more than I ever have before, without driving myself into the ground; without working myself to...

Plagued by Overwhelm? How it Serves You & How to Get Rid Of It!

Create, Reinvent

Let’s talk overwhelm. I know it’s an issue because it’s popped up countless times in my coaching sessions recently. What I’m hearing is this: “I just feel so overwhelmed. I’m unclear as to where I’m going. I’m so confused and it’s all too much. I know I need to take action, but I don’t do it because I’m paralyzed.” Overwhelm is a typical reaction as you forge a new path, doing something you’ve never done before. When you feel the call to go BIGGER in your life, to step it up, and to chase down huge goals and dreams, overwhelm occurs… and completely stops you in your tracks. You: 0...
